  Victorian Castles: Functional or fantasy
Anthony Salvin was admired for his work on Peckforton by many who considered that no one could have done it better.
Salvin had a feeling for the arrangement of medieval buildings and details that combine to make up a castle so making Peckforton Castle a convincing re-creation.
Salvin understood that the main concept for a castle was a defensive surrounding curtain wall with towers spaced along it and domestic buildings arranged on the inside of the wall forming a courtyard in the centre.

On the basis of this clever plan (which Salvin was later to adapt for Keele and Thoresby) the vocabulary derived from Gregory's extensive tours was used to achieve modelling, intricacy and skyline according to Picturesque principles.
Salvin's beautiful elevations, preserved in the RIBA Drawing Collection, show how he thought in terms of light and shade, producing the broader modelling by turrets, chimney-breasts and bay-windows, the intricacy by applied decoration, and the skyline by turrets, gables and chimney-stacks.
Salvin's elevations and a set of brilliant watercolours of about the same date, show a house without a trace of Baroque elements.

He specialized in country houses for the aristocracy in the style of a transitional phase of the Gothic Revival; a style he did not develop greatly over sixty years, and he never became an important church architect.

Following the marriage of a sister in 1826 to the architect Anthony Salvin, Nesfield turned to garden design, establishing himself as one of the most influential practitioners of the mid-Victorian era.
For his collaborative work with Salvin at several country houses, as well as with various other architects, including Edward Blore and Charles Barry, Nesfield revived the fashion for parterres de broderie, a principal feature of 16th- and 17th-century gardening.
Formed out of low box hedging and coloured gravels, they were seen as particularly appropriate for new houses built in the style of the Elizabethan or Jacobean Revival, such as Blore’s Worsley Hall (1837–43, destr.), Lancs, for which Nesfield borrowed from early 17th-century French Baroque patterns.

Harlaxton Manor was built in the 1830s for Gregory Gregory, a wealthy Nottinghamshire businessman, to replace the original Elizabethan Manor House in Harlaxton Village.
Owner and architect had many differences of opinion, however, and Salvin having completed the exterior of the main building was replaced by William Burn who is thought responsible for much of the interior.
A straight mile long drive across a bridge, under a gatehouse, past 'the pyrotechnic display of the forecourt gates and screen'* to Salvin's towering facade whether by day or night when the building is floodlit, is in itself a memorable, experience.

Between 1834 and 1839 he refaced the whole of the keep's exterior with Bath stone, but although the elaborate patterns of blank arcading were faithfully reproduced, they lost some of their original texture.

t seems to have been in 1831 that the architect Anthony Salvin (external link) was called in to, as Loudon put it, 'embody Mr Gregory's ideas in such detail as to fit them for the practical builder'.
Although only at the beginning of his career, he had already established a reputation as a rising country house architect.
